Editor's Overview
The 2013 Chevy Suburban is a full-size SUV that can carry up to nine passengers and tow well over 9,000 pounds, making it a long-standing favorite among families and fleets. The downsides to the Suburban's size and strength are mediocre fuel economy and lack of finesse when it comes to parking and overall maneuverability.

Owner Reviews
So far, no issues—but leaves me feeling they are around the corner.
Great family truck for large families and road trips.
Its mine! leave it alone! also do not lean on it, i hate when people just lean on your car; how rude. other than that, just don't turn on the radio and you will be ok.
